How does it compare with the Pulse? Is it the same without the lights?

I haven't used a Pulse but this only has three very small lights on the side to show you the amount of power that is left. I'm really happy with my charge. It can be loud and has good base. It plays a long time on a charge. I play music by blu-tooth from my Samsung 7 tablet. so its a nice small package.

A thousand times better!!! Started with the Pulse which died in six months. Got another. Died in six months. Kodak no longer fixes the Pulse when it breaks. In fact, after speaking with them, I was told they no longer sell them. Anyway, we've had this Pix Star for maybe two years and have never had an issue with it. It's really more sophisticated than the Pulse was, but we simply use it as a photo frame where we can easily email a picture to it.

I just checked. The emergency light is slightly brighter than the night light function. But not big difference.

Is this really a concern? Its minimal. About the equivalent of a analog clock except it only is on when motion and lack of light are present.

I'd say something is definitely wrong if your Pulse only lasts 14 hours. Have you tried upgrading the software? Otherwise, I'd exchange it or get a replacement from Withings as already suggested.

We don't have anything to compare it to, but no complaints about the night vision picture. it comes in black and white versus color and switches over automatically depending on how much light there is.

Yes. Didn't give it a huge effort, but changed the battery, and still got wild HR results...The only potential explanation that I have is that I do have PVCs, so sometimes pulse does not equal HR, but the unit was originally pretty reliable.

It is silent, it don't have built in flash though, you would have to use your existing lighting

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

They are not the same. I use this for single window lights so I do not have to unplug/plug them. I also use it for my coffee maker - ready - just turn it on.

It depends on the one you get. I ordered several and different times and the quality of the music tones is very different. Pros :The stars & lights that are projected are the same and if you use the ambient sounds, that's ok as well. The auto shut-off feature with the timer is nice as well. Cons: It's a bit difficult to set the time & if not paying attention the entire process has to be completed because pushing 1 wrong button cancels it all out. I'd reccommend it - just be patient with it the first few times you use it to get used to setting it up with date, time, etc.

It's tone. I haven't looked through the menus to see if there was a pulse option or not. But default setting is tone.

Yes you can play it with or without light...with or without music...volume adjusts also.

It's the same thing except the Pulse 02 was the 2nd one made. I have had both and the only thing the 02 does that the other doesn't is it bluetooths steps and other info automatically instead of having to do a manual sync

I have bought this unit on this amazon so I think I got the US version. As far as the night light goes, it doesnt give a lot of light at all, more light you can get from a fire fly from 3 miles away. Lullabies are ok, but I dont use them at all because when they are playing you can not hear babies making noises. This unit has a talk button so you can calm you baby and it gives a good sound on the main unit.Now the main thing. I LOVE this unit . It gave me and my wife a piece of mind because the previous one , Fishers Price , was making a lot of static and you couldnt hear anything. I am highly recomending this for you to buy. Belive me , you wont regret it. I have bought this unit on this amazon so I think I got the US version.

Amit, I only have the MagLite and so cannot compare the two. I can say that the MagLite is pretty impressive and i'm very happy with it.

My wife actually used the thing. She recalls that there were at least 8 different modes that were adjusted with a "soft touch" button. The result was a varied pulse in speed and intensity. Hope that helps.
